In every corner of the globe, the call for dignity, safety, and justice is still being sounded. The Human Rights Train reminds us that our journey is far from over. Every train car represents a basic right—freedom, education, safety, identity, health, love, and more. These rights should belong to all people, but in 2025, many are still being denied a seat on the ride toward equality.
From the rise of authoritarianism and political oppression to the continued struggles of marginalized communities—including 2SLGBTQIA+ people, racialized groups, disabled individuals, and those seeking refuge—the landscape of human rights remains deeply uneven.

In the Global North, where many assume progress is a given, we still see laws rolled back, protests criminalized, and people punished simply for existing. In Canada and the U.S., trans youth are targeted, Indigenous rights remain under threat, and hate-motivated violence is on the rise.

Across the globe, war, poverty, climate disasters, and state violence are displacing millions. Children are growing up in camps, activists are jailed for speaking out, and journalists are murdered for telling the truth.

But the Human Rights Train doesn’t just spotlight injustice—it carries hope. Around the world, people are rising. They are organizing, educating, resisting, and demanding more. They are calling out systems that harm and building communities that care.

This train runs on solidarity. Every time we show up—for a march, a vote, a mutual aid effort, a tough conversation—we move the engine forward. Every time we stand up against hate and speak up for love and justice, we are laying new track toward a better future.

So where are we headed?

That depends on us.

It depends on whether we’re willing to keep showing up, keep learning, keep standing with those whose rights are under attack.

The Human Rights Train is moving—and there’s room for everyone.

Join us. Ride for justice. Ride for love. Ride for human rights.
